People from here,

How do I access each phase property? Like rho, mu and nu? In my case for air and water, which I've set in the transportProperties file.

Thanks in advance.

miliante.

which solver?
try below
dimensionedScalar rho(transportProperties.lookup("rho"));
or
dimensionedScalar rho;
rho=dimensionedScalar(transportProperties.lookup(" rtho"));

Hi Junwei,

I need to call twoPhaseProperties inside a turbulence model (k omega sst). I mean inside ' void kOmegaSSTRebound::correct()'

How would it be possible?

I have tried the following but wiothout success.
const dimensionedScalar& rho1 = transport_.rho1();
or
dimensionedScalar rho1(transportProperties.subDict("phase1").lookup( "rho"));

did you introduce following objects:transport_ , transportProperties in your code?
if not, then how do you want to call a member of it?

Hi Nimasam,

Thanks for your comment.
The rho1, and rho2 can be called through twoPhaseProperties. And if one follows the hierarchy (creatFields.H, then turbulenceModel.C, then RansModel.C, and finally kOmegaSST.C), it can be seen that twoPhaseProperties has passed inside the kOmegaSST.C by the name of 'transport':
kOmegaSST::kOmegaSST
(
const volVectorField& U,
const surfaceScalarField& phi,
transportModel& transport,
const word& turbulenceModelName,
const word& modelName
)

However, I do not still know how to use it. Any comment is highly appreciated.

you can use following structure to read from dict:

Quote:
rho1_
(
dimensioned<scalar>::lookupOrAddToDict
(
"rho1",
coeffDict_,
1.0 //your default value
)
),
transportModel class has no member which pointed to transportProperties dict
